I love to visit this great hotel and it is now on my calender for 2 visit a year for special occasions.I find the hotel very comfortable , the rooms are great, the food excellent and the staff the very best you will find anywhere. To get a little exercise before meals, there is a great loop beside the hotel which will suit all tastes.I will be back in the Fall

Room Tip: look online.. there is an excellent web site and views of all the rooms

This is really a great hotel in spectacular and peaceful location in a beautiful part of Ireland. The staff are friendly and very professional, rooms are big and very comfortable, and the food is top notch! I'd recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Ireland. Just one word of warning - watch out for the goose...

This hotel is a real gem ..As you drive along the lake shore and arrive at the grand entrance gates you know that you are about to exoerience something special..Myself and my partner checked in there last Thursday evening at around 7 oclock. The sun on the lake was just beginning to fade leaving a lovely opeque light hanging over the whole place. First impressions were of a warm welcome and a lovely homely atmosphere. Our room was huge,warm and comfortable.We had a delicious dinner at a table overlooking the lake and with a full moon spreading a glorious light accross it you couldn't wish for a nicer setting.Our stay was too short .This is real Irish hospitality at it's best.We can't wait to go back !!J

Room Tip: Ask for a lake view !

Wonderful hotel. Peaceful and tranquil. Great location set against the backdrop of the Blue stack Mountains with the expanse of lake in front. I love the use of lamps and candles set around the hotel which sets the ambiance - don't change the decor! Food is always excellent and staff very friendly. On recent recent visit I even got to see an Eagle sitting on jettty outside whilst eating breakfast!

This was our second stay in Harvey's Point and it just gets better every time. Our 935 square foot room was larger than the footprint of our apartment back home. The furnishings are fresh and the room was spotless. The fresh floral displays throughout the Hotel are artistic and very beautiful. We had meals in both the main Dining Room and in the Wine Bar - both excellent with a good choice. As for the breakfast - it is fantastic with a Chef on hand to cook practically anything you want. The staff throughout this Hotel is friendly and extremely helpful - nothing is too much trouble for them. This is how Hotels should be run. Our next visit is already being planned. Can't wait to go back.

Room Tip: The Premier Rooms are well worth the extra cost. Everyone should stay in one of the 935 square foot...

I have enjoyed the art breaks at Harvey's Point for many years now. It is the perfect holiday for solo travellers.The shared interest in art means you never feel left out but there is no stress. Each person proceeds at their own pace. I have made many friends over the years among both guests and staff. Staff greet you with genuine friendliness, remember your requirements (and foibles) and go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and relaxed. The breakfast is the best I have seen anywhere and the standard of cuisine is excellent. Add to this a very high standard of accommodation, a heavenly setting on the lake shore, mountains and moon reflecting off the water and the softness of the Donegal air -perfect!

Room Tip: For the best views choose a lake shore suite.
